ILE for roofing purposes dates back 

to the very earliest times, even to 
the Egyptians and Assyrians. These 
early efforts towards an ornamental and 
useful roofing, however, were simply 
huge slabs of limestone quarried from 
the Armenian mountains. But crude 
as they were, they were used on some 


of the most notable structures of the 
ancient world—the Temple of Edfu in 
Egypt, where the stone roofing slabs are 
still in use, and the palace 


of the Assyrian King Sar- 

gon, at Khorsabad, near 

ancient Nineveh, a struc 
ture of more than 200 
rooms. This palace was 
surrounded with a cor- 
nice of copper and the 
beautiful columns were 

made of wood, protected 


with bronze and some of them with 
solid plates of gold. 


Later on we find the Greeks likewise 
using tile—marble slabs much lighter 
and thinner than the stone of the 
Assyrians. Up to this time the tiles 
were flat. To improve the joints and 


THE EDWARDS MFG.CO. Re CINCINNATI, OHIO, U.S.A. 


make them water-proof, the Greeks put a 
flange on the side, the first step toward the 
side lock and ornamental roll we find in use 
today. Such was the roof used on the 
Parthenon, Thesium and the Mausoleum of 
Halicarnassus, one of the seven wonders of 
the old world. It wasa tile of this kind, too, 
which Ben Hur accidentally knocked off 
the parapet of his roof, killing the Roman soldier in the street below. 


But coming to the Romans we find still further improvement. Marble and 
stone were too heavy to work. It was they 
who gave us the first metal tiles, casting 
them from bronze. Occasionally they gilded 
them so that they might glisten in the bright 
Italian sunlight. 


A further step toward today was to curve Ee SS ee 
the tiles, laying the first course with the roll ~~~ 8" = 
PALACE OF KING SARGON 
down and covering the joints with tiles laid 
roll up. The roof on the circular temple of Vesta was of this kind, but 
made from Syracusan Bronze, an alloy of great reputation among the 
__. Romans. At one time, one of the Popes took 
tiles of this kind from several of the temples 
and covered the Basilica of St. Peter with them. 
From the tenth century on, lead and copper 
tiles of similar construction were used a great 
deal, particularly on the domes of Moscow and 
the churches in Belgium and Germany. 


THE PARTHENON 


We now come to the use of tile most like our own—the burnt clay tile of 
the Moors. Many of the wonderful structures built during the time of 
Moorish Conquest of Spain were roofed with _ / 

them, giving a charm and picturesqueness © ae : 
impossible to be gained in any other way. A ; 
most notable example is that of the castle of 
the Moorish Kings at Granada, the Alhambra. 
The shape of these tiles, however, differed 
from those of the Romans in that they were 
‘‘S” shaped, much as clay tiles today. THESIUM

CINCINNATI, OHIO, U.S.A. 


Following the expulsion of the Moors in the 
fifteenth century, the Spaniards were quick to 
appreciate the artistic and practical features of 
these tiles, and used them to such an extent 
that they later became known as Spanish Tiles. 
These tiles, made of burnt clay, were used by 
all the nations of the world without change or 
improvement until very recent years. They 
made a most beautiful roof, and while they had a great many drawbacks, 
being extremely heavy, easily broken, and hard to keep water-tight, they 
were superior to any of the other roofs known. 
Now we come to our own age and day. It 
remained for the “Sheet Metal People” to solve 
the problem for good, to make a Spanish Tile that 
retained all the beauty and massiveness of the old 
clay tile and that at the same time overcame its 
many disadvantages. The result is Edwards Sa 
Interlocking Spanish Tile from sheet metal. TEMPLE OF VESTA 


MAUSOLEUM OF HALICARNASSUS 


Stamped from metal—copper, Edwards Copper Bearing Galvanized Steel, 
galvanized Tight-cote steel, tin plate and pure sheet zinc—the cost, except 
in the case of pure copper, is considerably less 
than that of clay tile, and little more than that of 
wood or composition shingles. With the patented 
construction of the interlocking feature you have 
perfect protection against the elements, extreme 
ease of application, and allowance for expansion 
Pe w4 and contraction. Light in weight, weighing 
BASILICA OF ST. PETER even less than wood shingles, it does not require 
heavy roof framing. And due to the free 
passage of air between the tile itself and the 
roof framing, it is cool in summer and warm 
in winter. Likewise, being non-porous it 
does not absorb moisture like wood shingles, 
clay tiles or other roofs.

distinctiveness, beauty and massiveness of the original Spanish Tiles of 
the Moorish Kings. Of two houses, side by side, one with clay tile, the 
other with this modern tile, it would be impossible to detect any difference 
in appearance, except on very close examination. 


And Now, a Word about Edwards 


With that desire that beats within the heart of 
most Americans for their own home, archi- 
tecturally perfect and beautifully appointed it 
is only natural that the development of Spanish 
Tiles and Shingles from metal should reach 
their highest development in the United States. 
The part played by the Edwards Manufacturing 
Company in this growth is at once distinctive 
and unique. Owning its own steel mills, rolling its own sheets, and doing 
its own stamping, in a word, fabricating the product from the raw material 
to the finished form, this company had pioneered 
in the development of Spanish Tile from metal. 
It has assisted in the production of the most 
practical machinery, patented its interlocking 
device, and created its own designs. Today it 
is the leading manufacturer of sheet metal 
building material in the world. 


This distinction is not without advantage to taser ae ce 

you. Itassuresa more complete and perfect service, greater satisfaction in 
a wider choice of designs, and because of larger production facilities, 
lower cost. 


Working in all the ductile metals, The Edwards Manufacturing Company 
is in a position to furnish you with Spanish Tiles and Shingles in: 


1. Copper—the material everlasting which improves with age and 
colors itself with time. This is by far the most expensive, but 
will last for hundreds of years. It is economically used on 
office buildings, hotels, apartments, institutions, churches and 
other buildings of a similar permanence. 


CINCINNATI, OHIO, U.S.A. 


2. Pure Sheet Zinc—second only to Copper for durability and 
long time economy. 


3. Edwards Copper Bearing Galvanized Steel—a special galvanized 
metal containing a small copper content which greatly increases 
its resistance to rust and corrosion. 


4. Edwards Galvanized Tight-cote—a high-grade steel sheeting 
with a special application of zinc and lead spelter. It is more 
ductile than ordinary galvanized steel. 


5. Tin Plate—a long lasting material which can be painted 
immediately and which will not chip or peel. 


It must not be inferred that some of these materials are inferior to others. 
There is need for all of them—a place where each one is best and any other 
only second best. For instance on a church, like the Italian Church in 
Paterson, New Jersey, shown on page 14, one would want to use nothing 
but copper. The idea is that there should be a material for every need 
and to conform to the limitations of any budget. 


Because of the marvelous manufacturing facilities and the immensity of 
our business, you are assured in ordering Edwards Spanish Tile and 
Shingles a most responsive service. Thousands of squares are constantly 
carried in stock. Nine out of ten orders are shipped within twenty-four 
hours of receipt. 


Moreover, situated as we are, at one of the strategic shipping points in the 
country, you are certain of the quickest freight service. You will never be 
delayed waiting for the roof to come. To give adequate service to the 
great Southwest, we carry on hand immense stocks at Dallas, Texas. 


In the following pages are shown a few of the typical installations of 
Edwards Interlocking Spanish Tiles and Shingles. These were taken more 
or less at random from thousands in all sections of the country, as well as 
in all sections of the world, and subject to every conceivable atmospheric 
and climatic condition. In every instance, this perfect roof is giving 
service and satisfaction. It is the ideal roof to put on your home.

A splendid example of Spanish archi- 
tecture in the New World. The elaborate, 
ornamental Moorish gable and the massive 
tile roof on the Methodist Episcopal Church 
at Winterpark, catches the eye at once. 
This church was built before the boom 

and all materials were carefully selected. 
It is a striking feature in the “Beauty 

Spot of America.” The red tiles 
add the finishing touch and blends 

perfectly with the light stucco 
exterior.

EGARDLESS of how our homes are 
built, the church is always the most 
imposing structure in the community. This 
has been the practise for centuries all over 
the world. Many cities five hundred years 
and even older contain no dwellings older 
than one hundred years, but usually many 
churches that have been standing for 
centuries. An example of the very 
finest architecture and most dur- 
able materials is the Italian Church 

at Paterson, New Jersey, with 
an Edwards Copper Spanish 
Tile Roof. The gutters and 
leaders and other metals on 

the building are also 
made of copper.

HE English half timbered 
stucco cottage, which is so 
popular, with the many nooks 
and corners, entrances and 
gables, permits very little choice 
of a roof design. In former days 
slate was used almost exclu 
sively, but slate is so heavy and 
cracks so easily. It was natural 
that the progressive “Sheet 
Metal Folks” should fill the 
want with a metal shingle. Since the first design of a genera- 
tion ago, many new ones have appeared. Refinements have 
been made and also improvements in the locking device in 
order to adequately take care of contraction and expansion. 
Originally metal shingles were made almost entirely of Tin 
and Galvanized metal, but during the last few years the 
demand is constantly increasing for Zinc and Copper shingles. 


Glance through the following pages and see the various types 
of buildings with Edwards Metal Shingles.

of the house, so he specified 
Zinc and, of course, Zinc 
was promptly furnished.

HE Roman Shingle is closely 
linked with Texas. From this ~~ 
vast expanse of American country came 
the demand for such a design and the 
want was filled by The Edwards Manu- 
facturing Company. Mr. E. K. Rowe, 
839 No. Madison, Oak Cliff, Dallas, was 
one of the first users of this shingle. 
When he saw the sample his mind 
was made up. You will agree that 

the roof carries out the architecture 
of the building.

Directions for Applying 
Edwards Metal Spanish Tile Roofing 


BEET 


Put on a felt or paper covering on the solid board sheathing. 
This need not be expensive felt. Ordinary building paper 
answers the purpose very well. This is done in order to keep 
out drafts which might draw moisture thru, and also to act as 
a deadening agent. 
LINE ROOF 

Take a chalk line and line roof horizontally, parallel with the 
eaves at 115%” distances, with the exception of the first row 
for Eave Tile where the distance depends on the pitch of the 
roof. To determine this, lay an Eave Tile No. 369 on the roof 
with the closed end pushed up against the eave, and measure 
the actual distance. Then line roof vertically, at right angles 
with the eaves, distances of 834”. 


EAVE ANDSEIEEDSTIER 


Lay the Eave Tile course first. Commence at the left. The 
nailing flange is covered up by locking the next tile in 


Page 34 
SS ERERGSzpr eNO SE 


THE EDWARDS MFG. CO. RY CINCINNATI, OHIO, U.S.A. 


place. See that you follow the chalk lines. Then lay the Field 
Tile in the same manner, working from left to right, following 
the chalk lines. In lapping the course below, see that the 
bottom of the upper course is up against the lower storm 
ribs of the lower course. 


HIBeANDERIDGE 


Put 2”x4" or 2”x6” strips on edge on all Hips and Ridges. 
When working against a Hip or Ridge, cut the Tile to butt 
against the strips. When tile is applied, nail Hip and Ridge 
Flashings against the side of strips, keeping them straight 
and at the same height. Then place the Hip and Ridge finish 
by resting it on the outer edges of Hip and Ridge Flashings, 
and fasten by turning the cleats over the lower flange of the 


finish. 
FINIALS AND HIP STARTERS 


These are put on in the same manner as the Hip and Ridge 
finish and held in place by cleats. 


VALERY 


The long Valley Sheets, No. 381, are nailed down before 
applying Tile. In finishing a course at a Valley, use a left 
Valley Tile and in starting a course at a Valley, use a right 
Valley Tile. Cut the flat surface of the Valley Tile, so that 
the edge will run parallel with the lock or fold in the Valley, 
and will overlap it about 14”; then bend, or fold the Valley 
Tile into the lock in the Valley. Be careful that the closed 
ends are kept in a straight line. Note different lengths of 
Valley Tile. This is to avoid waste. Use long or short tile 
as distance varies going up the Valley. 


VARIOUS FLASHINGS & FIXTURES 


We manufacture many fixtures to take care of different and 
special conditions. They are easy to apply and blend per- 
fectly into the balance of the roof, so that the complete roof 
is a compact unit.

Architects’ Specifications for Metal Shingles 
All pitched roofing surfaces shall be covered with Edwards 


(Here insert design of shingle) 


Metal Shingles, manufactured by The Edwards Manufac- 


turing Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, made from........... 


(Here insert whether Tin Painted (red or green), Tight-cote Galvanized, No. 9 or No. 11 
galvanized Zinc, 9 oz. or 14 oz. Copper. 


Roofing surfaces to be prepared for metal shingles by covering 
with felt or building paper. Shingles to be applied straight 
and true so all horizontal lines are parallel with the eaves 


and the vertical lines are parallel with the rafters and at right 
angles to the eaves. 


When specifying the Old English Shingles, insist that the 
Old English Hip and Ridge be used. 


Directions for 


Applying Edwards Metal Shingles 


FEL 


Put on a felt or paper covering on the solid board sheathing. 
This need not be expensive felt. Ordinary building paper 
answers the purpose very well. This is done to keep out 
drafts which might draw moisture thru, and also to act as a 
deadening agent. 

LINE ROOF 


Take a chalk line and line roof horizontally parallel with the 
eaves—taking the covering length of the shingle. Then 
line roof vertically at right angles to eaves, same distance as 
covering width of shingle. 


Page 42 


EEE — — eee 


THE EDWARDS MEG. CO. A CINCINNATI, OHIO, U.S.A. 


EAVING THE ROOF 


Begin at the lower left hand corner. The nailing flange is 
covered by locking the next shingle in place. In laying the 
second course, and alternate courses, begin with a half 
shingle in order to break joints. 


GINISHeAT THE EAVE 


Nearly every house has a gutter. Apply the gutter first and 
see that this gutter has a 2” or 3” flange turned up on the roof. 
Then lay the first course of shingles, so that the ends of the 
shingles come even with the edge of the roof. If no gutter is 
used, let the first course project over the eaves about 1”. 


HIP AND RIDGE 


If our Perfect or Imperial finishes with folded apron are used, 
they are to be applied before shingles are put on. Slide the 
shingles into the fold. If ordinary round Ridge Roll, Hip 
shingles or any other finish without folded apron is used, 
apply shingles first. If our Old English Hip finish is used, put 
on one piece for every course of shingles. The Hip finish is 
made extra long to take care of various pitches. 


Wallen? 


Always use our Imperial or Perfect Valley which comes in 
10” lengths. Apply the Valley first and fasten by nailing the 
outer edge. In laying shingles at the Valley, cut the shingles 
at the same angle as the Valley, about one-half inch past the 
fold and bend the shingles into the lock or fold in the Valley. 
Do not drive any nails in the shingles thru the Valley. 


VARIOUS FLASHINGS AND FIXTURES 


In order to take care of conditions around dormers, chimneys, 
stacks, etc., use End Wall Flashing and Side Wall Flashing. 
These are put on before the shingles are applied and the 
shingles are bent into the fold or lock on these flashings.

Guide and Rules for Estimating Roof Surfaces 
for Spanish Tile 


Refer to floor plan and elevations on opposite page, showing S. K. Reynold’s residence, 
Baldwin, L. I., New York. Length of rafter is measured on the elevation. In this 
case it is 10 feet, and this dimension is noted on the roof plan. (See photograph on 
page 17.) 

First figure the surface of the main part of the roof, which is 48 feet long. Multiply 
this with rafter on each side of the ridge. Then figure the two projections in the 
front and the one in the rear in the same manner. 


The result will be as follows:
